Clearly a complete waste of time ever letting this scum out again, he will just be in and out of jail. Bring in the 3 strikes and you are out and get the habitual criminals who commit 80% of the crimes off the streets for good and that would be a good start.

Like so many others, this case just shows the utter lunacy of our Criminal Justice System, their woefully unduly lenient sentencing, the madness of early release and the complete nonsense that is the concept of rehabilitation.

What sums the entire farce up more than anything is the use of the word 'dispiriting' to describe the entirely predictable series of events that occurred after this career criminal was released early from prison. What, exactly, did the judge THINK was going to happen? It's not 'dispiriting', it is 'obvious what would happen'.

And it's exactly what will happen the as soon as they release him, early, the next time.

“The fact that you were sentenced to 44 months for counts of conspiracy to supply class A in 2012 is a serious aggravating feature.”

So the judge gave him an even more lenient sentence for the same crime this time. Is there really nobody who can put an end to this madness?

I wish the law would give every drug dealer caught a life sentence, in my eyes these scum are responsible for causing untold misery in peoples lives and that of their families who so often have to stand by helpless while they see their loved ones descend into their own personal hell. As for the drug barons far and wide the death sentence should be the only answer.

While I agree we need much harsher sentencing, people need to take responsibility for their own actions. I have been offered drugs several times and never felt the need to take them, the dealers are not responsible for the people taking the drugs.

This country is full of blame culture and has a crippled justice system, this lad should have got 8-9 years for his crime, the law would allow around 14 I think, so 3 is a joke.

Couldn't agree more! A complete joke and isn't it any wonder these little rats get back to business as usual when they know they can get away with it time and time again. The gains far outweigh the risks or inconvenience.

The problem with that is that the big drug barons lives are at risk every day from rivals or the law, so that is never going to be a deterant. And jailing the lower down ones wont solve a lot as there is usually a queue of new dealers waiting to stop in. It is a cancer that will never be cured while the moronic need for mind altering drugs exists.

Never, but then the majority of so called reporters employed by the Adver have probably never lived anywhere near Swindon. Time and again they have shown their local knowledge to be pretty abysmal.
